TOY GUN AND PROJECTILE Filed Dec. 15, 1925 hwliamw Balm .NVENTORPatented Wee. T10, 1929 NATHANIEL BALDWIN, OF EAST MILL CREEK, UTAH TOYGUN AND PROJEGTILE Application filed December The present inventionappertains to toy guns of the class in which elastic cords are used topropel projectiles.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive, andharmless toy of the class above mentioned which will dis charge a discor sheet of light material with a whirling motion. a

l attain this and other objects by the structure illustrated in theaccompanying drawing in which Fig. l is a side view elevation of theloaded gun and Fig. 2 is a top view of the same.

in both figures of the drawing numeral fl designatesthe body of the toymade preferablv from a piece of thin board cut into the dc red form,provided with a perforation 2 and thin slot at the end to receive theelastic cord 3 and having a recess or seat on one go side adapted toreceive the projectile l, which may preferably consist of a disc ofcardboard or other light material.

After setting the projectile 4- in place in the recess or seat, theelastic cord 3 is stretched over it as shown in the drawing and holds itin place ready for action. The gun body 1 is so formed that when theprojectile is in place in the recess or seat a portion of it projectsbelow the body as shown at 5 and by pressing the finger against thisportion the projectile will be lifted upward until the elastic cord willswing it upward over the corner or lug 6 and forward with a whirlingmotion.

I claim:

1. A toy gun and projectile comprising a gun body to hold theprojectile, an elastic cord connected with said gun body to stretch overthe projectile, a projectile and a portion oi said body being formed tohold said projcctile in place against the tension of said elastic corduntil said projectile is displaced by the operator.

2. A toy gun and projectile comprising a projectile, elastic means toact upon said projectile and adapted to propel said projectile, aportion of said body being formed to sustain said projectile against thetension of said elastic means until said projectile is dis placed by theoperator.

3. A toy gun and projectile comprising a projectile, a gun body,provided with a re cess to hold said projectile, an elastic bandconnected to said gun body and adapted to stretch over said projectileand to propel said 1 projectile when displaced from said recess.

A toy gun and projectile comprising a projectile, a gun body adapted toreceive said projectile, an elastic cord connected with said gun bodyand adapted to stretch over said projectile and to propel saidprojectile, a lug on said body adapted to sustain said projcc tileagainst the tension of said elastic cord until said projectile is tippedover said lug by the operator.

5. A toy gun and projectile comprising a projectile, a gun body withseat adapted to receive said projectile, an elastic cord cei nected withsaid gun body and adapted to stretch over said projectile and to propelsaid projectile when said projectile is tipped over the edge of said sot by the operator.

6. A toy gun and projectile comprising a disc shaped. projectile, a gunbody with adapted to receive said pro ectile, an elastic cord connectedwith said gun body and adapted to stretch over said projectile and topropel said projectile with a whirling motion when said projectile istipped over the edge of said seat by the operator.

7. A trig erlcss toy gun comprising a body CGSS.
